Strong Exports and High Commodity Prices Contribute to Growth Within Many of the Latin American Markets

POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 18, 2007 -- www.InvestorIdeas.com, a
leading content provider of global investor and industry news and research
resource portals, reviews the growing opportunities in renewable energy,
mining, technology and digital media within key South American markets.
Strong exports, high commodity prices and increased investments have been
contributing factors to growth within many of the Latin American markets.
As a result, many companies are working to capitalize across a variety of
sectors such as DVD manufacturer Infosmart Group, Inc. (OTCBB: IFSG) in the
digital media and tech market, ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) and Rotoblock Corporation
(OTCBB: ROTB) taking advantage of the growing demand for alternative and
renewable transportation, as well as GoldenPeaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL)
and other mining companies pursuing resource plays within Argentina and
surrounding areas.

According to IDC Worldwide PC Tracker December 2006, Brazil's computer
sales, to include desktops, notebooks and ultra portables, increased 21.5%
to just under 1.79 million units in the third quarter of 2006, in
comparison to the same time period in 2005.

The DVD player market possibly has the greatest potential for growth in
Brazil's entire entertainment hardware sector, a key factor behind the
decision by DVDR manufacturer Infosmart Group, Inc. (OTCBB: IFSG) to
establish a production facility in Brazil through its subsidiary Infosmart
Discobras. The Company's DVD production from its Brazil facility is
expected to begin in February 2007, with sales anticipated to contribute
approximately 40% of the group revenue.

Brazil is also the world's largest producer and exporter of sugar
cane-based ethanol. Brazil's success in alternative fuels has led to the
mass adoption of vehicles that run on pure ethanol, or a gasoline-ethanol
blend termed gasohol and the overall acceptance of 'green' transportation
technology.

Brazilian automotive company Obvio ! has developed unique flex-fuel and
electric microcars suitable for 3 adults. Each microcar, measuring only
nine feet in length, which comes in either flex-fuel or all-electric
models, achieves approximately 29 mpg in the city and over 40 mpg on the
highway. Obvio ! has teamed up with California-based alternative vehicles
developer and distributor ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) to break into the North
American market with estimates of launching 50,000 of the flex-fuel cars in
mid to late 2008 for approximately $14,000USD per vehicle. ZAP is the
exclusive North American distributor for Obvio ! and owns 20% of the
Brazilian company.

Obvio ! is also pursuing further efficiencies through its development and
licensing agreement with technology development company, Rotoblock
Corporation (OTCBB: ROTB), specializing in advanced propulsion systems for
the integration of their Oscillating Piston Engine (OPE) into Obvio ! 828,
the 012 and future models. The energy efficiency, small size and reduced
emissions make Rotoblock's OPE suitable for use with Obvio's hybrid
applications.

Chile has garnered considerable attention as the largest copper producer in
the world and with copper prices seeing record highs in 2006, the region
has reaped the economic rewards as GDP growth reached over 6% in 2005 and
over 5% for 2006.

Argentina is the second-largest country in South America next to Brazil
with rich natural resources and strong GDP growth between 8-9% over the
past few years. As a result of historical political uncertainty Argentina
has seen relatively little exploration when compared to nearby regions such
as Chile and Brazil. However, as the political climate has significantly
improved so has the investment potential of this region. Evidence of this
is seen in the participation by many resource companies such as GoldCorp
Inc, Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL), and Barrick Gold Corporation.

Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL), an exploration and resource
development company, holds more than 385,000 acres of prospective land
holdings in four of Argentina's most established mining districts. The
Company's main focus is on five high priority gold projects within
Argentina covering the provinces of La Rioja, Neuquen, and Chubut. Golden
Peaks' La Fortuna project in Chubut, Argentina is located in the same
region as the nearby Esquel and Navidad deposits and exhibits distinct
geological characteristics which the Company believes to be evidence of its
potential to be the region's next major gold discovery.

Overall, while emerging markets can potentially be volatile due in large
part to political risk, the strong demand across sectors such as
alternative energy and transportation, mining and many segments within
technology continue to present signs of long term opportunity.
